    Idk, I’ve got my hands in a lot of financial cookie jars, and I don’t recall ever being asked for something like this. At the very least, not in this manner.

      It’s pretty standard for European banks thanks to Know Your Customer laws.

        If you keep in mind that it’s only done with special certified subcontractors, then yes. I would never give that information directly to a company like X. And yes, also those special companies are more times shady than they should be, but still.

          Dunno what you’re talking about here but I’ve had to go through something similar every time I’ve opened a new account with a financial service.

          But yeah, I would not trust Twitter/X either. Musk is too much of an emotional child following whatever whim takes his fancy that day.

      I know there’s a similar-ish process for accessing Spanish social security services online at least, and I believe it’s the same for some other services as well.

      Then again, Spanish public services are not exactly the gold standard for digitalization.

        Wait are you Spanish too? Those websites look like they’ve been made by a secretary’s cousin that only knew how to copy and paste in the 90s

          I just have a few Spanish friends! And from what they’re telling me that’s probably exactly how these websites were made.

      I have the opposite experience but maybe it’s just different in the EU
